ing upOn one OF tne
counters. 1T is Rochester celery, and the
best that comes into the market by all odds.
This Kalamazoo celery isn't good anyhow
and there is no use in saying anything about
it. For that matter the stalks that came
from New Jersey and Long Island are far
superior in quality to the Western product,
and there are many who claim the New Jer-
sey celery. is the Lest, especially that which
is raised in the sandy soil in the neighbor-
hood of Newark. But l think that the Roch-
ester celery can't be beaten"
It certainly looks very appetizing," as
sented the reporter. What is it that
makes it so white and pearly in its appear
ance?"
THAT is partly on account of the way it is
cultivated, partly on account of the variety of
the plant, and furthermore on account of
the character of the soil it is grown in. The
plant is naturally of a tender description
and does not contain the tough strings and
tibres SO common to other varieties. Then
the soil is sandy, which is just the thing
needed for celery, and finally great care is
taken in bleaching. it by heaping
most nc up to- eS't the H top of 't the leaves leaves. If If
the ground is not too wet, celery is sure to
turn out well under these conditions. l
should think New York people would prefer
to patronize the product of their own State,
there is another industry as great as that of
celery raising at which she stands at the top
without q rival in sight"
What is this diminutive variety of celery
that Is sometimes seen on the market stalls ?"
"Oh, that is a kind of dwarf celery that is
raised over in Jersey. II has not been in the
market very long and is not very popular.
: one might think it was crisp and juicy and
tender, because it is small. but he would find
by trying it that he had made a big mistake
in judgment. 1t is the toughest ~stringiest
stuff you ever got hold of, and don't make
any mistake about it."

was going on to insist on his rights to the

pulled Dempsey by the sleeve and said " Go
on with the match, Jack. You've got too
many friends to get the worst of It. They

far been fruitless. The imprisoned

appointed Mr.. Lucas. If, by an ex-

Camden should be elected, the two

testimony that the retail trade is I'M

real estate or mining speculation

provement is reported. The remark
able activity is clearly connected
with an exceedingly plentiful supply
of money, which is more abundant
where some need was previously re-
ported, while at many points, as
Memphis, money was never 80
abundant before. Rates rise 10 per

where speculation RACES, but are usu-

lating effects of such additions are
everywhere felt.
From Washington news comes
that the Treasury realizing risks
from excessive issues will now draw

nations. Speculation in real estate
is rampant in Colorado, and spread

Der of diseases superinduced by civil.
ization, and the freedom which man,
in the primitive or savage state, en-
joys from all troubles save those be-

highly civilized whites. The In

great sufferers from diseases of the

they are martyrs to dyspepsia. There

travellers everywhere is that civiliz-
